We had a wedding in the area. The wedding started at the same time as check in. This establishment let a group of us have early check in to help not scheduling difficulty. It was very much appreciated and shows good customer service. Plus the place was quaint and safe:)

We stayed one night while visiting the beach, and it gave us exactly what we needed. The beds were soft, the room and bathroom were clean, and the room was cool the moment we stepped in, which was necessary after being on the hot beach all day. The restaurant's food was delicious, and it was great to be able to eat and then go right back up to the room to rest. We'll definitely be back next year.

The location of the Tavern is great! There are plenty of restaurants and locations for entertainment without going over the bridge. Owner is friendly and staff is also friendly to chat with. For a locally owned business, they are doing a great job supplying multiple perks for a fair cost!

This hotel is really unique. The Inn was built in the 1880’s and makes you feel like you’re stepping back in time. It’s in a beautiful location right on the bay with breathtaking views. The owner, Sam, took great care of us including getting up early to make cappuccino on the front porch and share stories about the buildings use during prohibition to smuggle illegal booz into the county.

Our own Steven King experience

Our first surprise was the $75 PER NIGHT pet cleaning fee. This might have been understandable if they had cleaned our room at all during our stay. We didn't see a soul the entire time. We were all alone in the hotel and surrounding restaurant. Good thing we didn't need clean towels. No services whatsoever. They gave us a key and told us to lock up when we left. Kind of like The Shining. But with waves.
